Case Study: RocketChart achieves rapid launch and secure, scalable cash-flow management with Heroku

Powered by Heroku, Fintech Startup RocketChart Achieves Lift Off

RocketChart is a French fintech startup that built a simple SaaS dashboard to give founders real‑time cash‑flow visibility and forecasting. The three founders faced tight time and budget constraints, needed a fast MVP launch with reliable infrastructure, and had to meet EU banking data security and accreditation requirements — including providing a fixed IP for bank API access.

They built on Heroku using GitHub integration, pipelines, and Heroku add‑ons to streamline CI/CD and operations, partnered with Budget Insight for an accredited banking API, and used the Fixie add‑on to provide static outbound IPs. The result: a compliant, production app launched in weeks that scaled to serve hundreds of customers within six months while letting the small team focus on product development rather than infrastructure.
